Other Health Conditions & Treatments -as if CRPS wasn’t enough!Cervical Dystonia – another neuropathic pain disease affecting the neck and shoulders and treated every 3 months with Botulinim toxin injections by a neurologist.Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction –another painful condition treated every year by my pain management specialists with guided in theatre cortisone injections, also managed by regular clinical Pilates at home.Irritable Bowel Syndrome- Managed by diet following consultations and investigations by a gastroenterologist and a dietitian who helped me identify my food intolerances.Torn Shoulder Tendons & Bursitis –this was due to several years of using crutches and over use of my arms due to not being able to do things from a standing position. Rest and cortisone, a home visit from an occupational therapist helped and I now have to be very careful of how I use my arms and shoulders. It was at this point in 2014 that I bought a small electric wheelchair for around the house.TMJ -Temporomandibular joint dysfunction - I had a perforated disc in 2008 on one side of my jaw and for 12 months could not open my mouth more than 13mm to eat, I can now manage 25mm but have to be careful.
